    Sir, I found out that in different book answer for Absorption costing questions. There are 2 different formats for absorption costing statement:

    The differences are lied on the location of variable non-production costs and adjustment for over/(under) absorbed FPOH.

    Are these 2 formats also accepted by ACCA?

    Format 1: AC Profit Stmt

    Sales
    Less: Full cost
    Opening Inventory
    Production cost of new output
    Less: Closing Inventory
    LESS:VARIABLE NON-PRODUCTION COSTS
    Gross Profit
    Less: Fixed non-production costs
    ADJUSTMENT FOR:
    OVER/(UNDER) ABSORBED OF FIXED PRODUCTION OVERHEAD
    Profit/(Loss)

    Format 2: AC Profit Stmt

    Sales
    Less: Full cost
    Opening Inventory
    Production cost of new output
    Less: Closing Inventory
    ADJUSTMENT FOR:
    OVER/(UNDER) ABSORBED OF FIXED PRODUCTION OVERHEAD
    Gross Profit
    LESS:VARIABLE NON-PRODUCTION COSTS
    Less: Fixed non-production costs
    Profit/(Loss)

    Thanks

    You cannot be asked to produce a full profit statement in the exam.

    However, the first statement is not correct – it is the second statement that is correct.

    This is all explained in my free lectures on absorption and marginal costing. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper MA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
